Abstract

We propose a two-parameter family of nonsymmetric dense n ⨉ n matrices A(α, β) for which LU factorization without pivoting is numerically stable, and we show how to choose α and β to achieve any value of the ∞-norm condition number. The matrix A(α, β) can be formed from a simple formula in O(n²) flops. The matrix is suitable for use in the HPL-AI Mixed-Precision Benchmark, which requires an extreme scale test matrix (dimension n > 10⁷) that has a controlled condition number and can be safely used in LU factorization without pivoting. It is also of interest as a general-purpose test matrix.
